Single-target operation

Part of the Meetsync MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call getParticipantAvailability to retrieve information from Meetsync without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though getParticipantAvailability only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the getParticipantAvailability tool do? +

Use this tool when you need to inspect the free time windows for exactly one participant — for example, to verify they are free at a specific time before booking directly, or to understand one person's constraints before a conversation. Do not use this for group scheduling — if you need a time that works for multiple people at once, call findMutualAvailability instead. Prerequisite: you must have the participant's UUID from createParticipant or listParticipants.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Meetsync MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on getParticipantAvailability? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for getParticipantAvailability. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Meetsync MCP server.

What risk level is getParticipantAvailability? +

getParticipantAvailability is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit getParticipantAvailability? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the getParticipantAvailability rule in your Intercept policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block getParticipantAvailability completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for getParticipantAvailability. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides getParticipantAvailability? +

getParticipantAvailability is provided by the Meetsync MCP server (nicholasemccormick/meetsync-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
